Smooth, glossy strands are an icon of beauty. This lightweight treatment combines delicate tinting with nourishing oils (such as shea, argan, castor and sweet almond) for instantaneous shine improvement and softened hair.
For an effortless glow, apply a shimmer serum before styling to prevent flyaways and frizz. Or try spraying one like Bread’s glossing mist over your polished ponytail or updo for that Breakfast at Tiffany’s look.
Pomades
Pomades are versatile styling tools, capable of providing different levels of hold and shine options to achieve different styles, from vintage slick backs to more textured modern looks. Furthermore, pomade can help soften coarse hair to make styling more manageable.
Stronger pomades from Battle Born Grooming Co are perfect for styles requiring endurance and structure, while water-based pomades offer similar styles with an easier cleanup at night. Furthermore, you’ll find pomades offering different levels of sheen ranging from natural matte finishes to stunning high gloss shine finishes.
To use pomade effectively, start by applying a small amount to your palms and working it into the front of your hair. Next, comb or blow-dry your locks into their desired style – keeping in mind that most pomades require water activation for proper distribution on damp hair.
Gels
Hair gel is an indispensable tool for creating diverse styles with your locks, from sleek professional looks to casual tousled vibes. When used responsibly, it can transform the appearance of any style imaginable!
Hair styling gel can be an invaluable way to control frizz, enhance texture, and define the shape of your locks. Furthermore, it will keep your look intact throughout the day! Most gels are classified by thickness and strength – select one suited to your hair’s needs: lightweight formulas may work best on finer locks while strong hold gels might help with thicker or coarser ones.
Search for gels made with natural ingredients to promote healthy hair. Many gels contain hydrating elements like aloe vera or glycerin to provide much-needed hydration; others feature heat-protective elements to shield your strands from blow-drying or straightening damage; while still others contain humectants to draw moisture deep into strands and keep them hydrated throughout the day.
Texture Powders
Most men wish for full, luxurious locks, yet the process can be tedious and time consuming. Utilizing volumizing products will provide your locks with that extra boost needed to achieve fuller locks throughout the day.
Texture powders (also referred to as styling or talcum powder) are an ideal way of adding texture and lift without adding excess weight to your locks. Their lightweight formula makes reapplying effortless without leaving your strands feeling greasy or sticky after application.
Many brands now produce this product using natural ingredients, making it more gentle and less likely to cause allergic reactions than other styling products. They’re also more environmentally-friendly. Unfortunately, some powders contain parabens that may disrupt hormones or cause scalp irritation and buildup; choose one with minimal paraben content to support healthy hair and scalp health.
Hair Sprays
Once you’ve spent hours perfecting an elegant blowout, high ponytail or updo style, the last thing you want is for it to start looking crunchy or stiff by midday. To keep your style intact and soft while withstanding humidity, use a hairspray that can stand up.
Look for products with a lightweight feel, such as those in the Nexxus range which provide flexible medium hold that lets your locks move freely, or opt for volumizing hair sprays like Fekkai Clean Stylers Volumizing Mist which contains silk proteins to instantly add volume while protecting against heat and frizz.
To avoid heavy or unnatural-looking hardness, ensure the bottle is at least six inches away from your head while reading product instructions for optimal results. Also remember to spritz evenly throughout your strands for an even finish and additional protection from the elements. This can help lock in your final look as well.
